So Pancake Day (or Shrove Tuesday) is coming up fast! The lovely chaps at Abra-ca-Debora make scrummy ready made pancakes, so even if you’re not in the mood (or simply don’t have time) to make your own pancakes, there’s no reason why you should miss out. Abra-ca-Debora do three different products: the plain ones are great for all sorts of things including savoury crepes, the sweet ones are perfect for drizzling with honey, or rolling up with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of sugar, and then there are some cute new fluffy little sweet ones, ‘diddy’ pancakes (known in Holland as poffertjes), which are fantastic for dipping in all sorts of lovely, sticky things.

I’ve got two cute little hampers to give away, each containing all three Abra-ca-Debora pancakes, a gorgeous, stripy Cornishware mug, and lots of teeny treats including Green and Blacks chocolate selection, two miniature portions each of Nutella and Golden Syrup, an icing sugar shaker, Bonne Maman honey and strawberry conserve, two tubes of mini eggs and a miniature bottle of Prosecco!

All you have to do to enter is to comment and tell me your favourite topping (or indeed filling) for your pancakes on Pancake Day. Usual English Mum competition rules apply and the competition will end at 9am on Thursday 12th February, hopefully with enough time left to get your hamper to you by the big day!

*** THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED – CONGRATULATIONS TO RHI AND RACH J WHO BOTH WON A HAMPER***

Since having a crepe freshly made on the streets of Paris absolutely drowned in Nutella, with no napkin so we all ended up with chocolate faces and hands that is our new favourite topping for pancakes 😀 just make sure the pancakes are warm, and if need be melt the Nutella for a few seconds in the microwave 😀 perfection x

Is it very boring to say sugar and lemon? I think I have to agree that it can’t be beaten. However, I am also partial to a savoury pancake – cheddar cheese, finely chopped fresh tomato and a liberal grinding of black pepper.

Mmmm…I’d love to win one if these hampers! My favourite is the rather traditional – having tried everything from apple purée via melted Mars Bar to zested lemons – squeeze of lemon and generous sprinkle of sugar! Yum!
